No 1st Fill for me today :(



Recommended Posts

My doctor said I was right in the middle of the "to fill or not to fill" area because he is happy with what I have lost so far . . . so he opted to wait until the 17th for my first fill - BOO! AND . . . he asked how much I was eating at a time. When I said 1/2- 1 cup . . .he said "no - I want you to report back to me in BITES. I want you to do 8 bites and then stop . . . and see how that works". OMG . . . I'm going to be climbing the walls before January 17th! I should mention that he wants me on 2 Protein Shakes a day also for Snacks . . . for 3 months . . . and to make sure I'm getting enough Protein.< /p>

Chris,

I'm sure that was disappointing after all this time thinking it was coming today. On the plus side, you're doing something wonderful if he didn't think you needed the fill. Keep up the awesome work and the 17th will be here in no time.

On the other side.... BITES??? How in the world do you count bites? I thought you were doing great with the 1/2 cup thing. Now you have me scared about the 8th. However, I've not been able to keep it under 1 cup yet.

I'm working this week on getting my Water in this week. That is my goal. Set yourself a goal that maybe has NOTHING to do with weight and it will help you focus. Good luck on waiting. You're doing awesome right now. Hold on to that.

Chris...well sounds like you're doing great!!!

When i start my mushies and until im at goal weight, Im only allowed 1oz meals at a time. 3 oz meals Per day. I bet that equals to about 8 bites..

Lots of people are doing the 1/2c-1c , but im only allowed a measly ounce.

You can do it, gf!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
